plateaus

This year, after 15 years of yoga practice and transforming my body, I found myself hitting a plateau. Though my practice regularly involves power moves like jumping forward into crow pose and holding warrior pose for a long time, my muscle tone seemed to be stuck on autopilot: never decreasing, but never really going to that next level, either.

Can’t seem to progress in your yoga practice? … Doing the same poses day in and day out without any tangible “movement”? It’s the dreaded plateau — “a phase in mental or physical development during which little headway is made.” But don’t fall into the trap that you are stuck and going nowhere!
